Builds and runs fine on Mac, but I get the following during make when I include --enable-bitmine_A1:

That's my fault, since I did not figure out how to disable a driver for a specific OS. As Con already stated, this one is meant for an embedded system with SPI interface (e.g. RasPi) and does not make sense to be build for a desktop OS.

I'll dig deeper into the automake magic to find a clean way to add OS dependency for that driver (if possible at all).

edit 3Something tells me cgminer hates coinex's switchpool. I took a pic and first I saw btcguild found a block then coinex kept looking for a block till I got a no error and then no device error for my drillbit thumb. I hope that doesn't mean bad things for my drillbit thumb.

I find that on coinex's switchpool, when the coin changes it will crash my antminer blades, in fact. system log shows the asic going down and then being re-discovered. It didn't occur to me maybe it was cgminer related, but you have a similar problem on a different device apparently?

My ant runs 3.8.5-1, but I think a newer update is available I could try. (Antminer image that is.)

Much appreciated, thank you. This way the original post thread with all its information and legacy can remain intact as well as sorting out trolling issues.

Trolling issues?

You can see an example with some of the discussion from here onwards:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg4869039#msg4869039Some posts were deleted, but basically, when I don't support people's own agendas, they suddenly turn on me because they can't accept that I don't care about what they care about (basically all altcoin support).

This thread also has a long history of being trolled by Luke-Jr and his minions since he decided to create a hostile fork of cgminer and then claim that through some bizarre illogical reasoning that cgminer was the fork due to him contributing some code to cgminer. He then aggressively modified wiki posts saying cgminer was deprecated and then posted on various linux distribution threads that cgminer was the fork and so on... He's since proceeded to pull much of my code into his hostile fork and continued to claim that cgminer is the fork, even though virtually no code in cgminer comes from his fork, but thousands of lines of code from cgminer has been - and is continued to be - pulled into his fork.

Part of the reason he forked it was that I reverted some of his code because it was buggy and broken, but more importantly, I originally planned to abandon cgminer when FPGAs were taking over, because they made no sense over GPUs - and he assumed he'd become the maintainer for cgminer - but then ASICs hit and I changed my mind and continued to develop cgminer around ASICs and that's when he decided to create his hostile fork.

See it's not worth deleting this post because it's a beautiful example of how someone who I can - as a qualified medical practitioner - diagnose as having a personality disorder, feels obliged to post the same nonsense.

EDIT:The git history does not lie.

The forum thread history does not lie.
